I wouldn't argue with that, but I think it hangs on interpretation. I tend not to use the term CPU any more, rather just 'processor'. 2 Processors with 4 cores each. For me, having two CPUs doesn't sound right as they can't both be central (arguably...) and I think the term belongs in the era where there was just one 'central' processor. I think the problem arises because people use them differently. A CPU could be a collection of processors (chips), a single processor (chip) or a core (sub-chip). What's the CPU in one of those mega-computers with thousands of cores, I wonder...
